@Random: I'm afraid I'm not very familiar with the PMD series at all, but if you're desperate then I can try and give you a challenge. You'll get a Surskit. You must change his/her tactic for every floor of a dungeon. Whether this means alternating between Get Away / Attack or actually using all of the tactics is up to you.

@Eevee3: You get a Teddiursa. Name him/her "Flippers". To evolve into Ursaring it must know both Slash and Faint Attack, along with a TM move. Slash, or an alternate Normal-type move if you prefer [Return, perhaps?] must be its only STAB move. NOTE: You can get Teddiursa by having Pokemon Emerald in your GBA Slot of your DS on routes 211 and 217. If you're using a DSi [and don't have the second slot] or don't own Emerald, let me know and I'll change the challenge.

Me: Squirtle (Leader): May only use moves Ash's Squirtle knew, which were Water Gun, Skull Bash, Tackle, Bubblebeam, Withdraw, Hydro Pump, Bubble & Rapid Spin. Team must be named SqrtlSquad (Aditya8081)

Spearow (Iceberg): Must have the "Lets go Together" Tactic. At all times, it must either have Exclusive move-user active and only one move picked, or exclusive move-user turned off and no moves set. (auramaster)

Phanpy: Must be fed every Gummi in the game except the 5 given to Pikachu (Texas Cloverleaf)

Yanma: No Restrictions (lol, Yanma can't evolve in PMD Red) (yaya0)

Zigzagoon (Dark Goon): Only attacking move is Headbutt, must clear all the Makuhita dungeons without it dying to evolve (Dark Ray)

Qwilfish: In order for Qwilfish to use a non-stab move you must beat the training dojo level of that type with Qwilfish. Qwilfish must eat two seeds in every dungeon he goes to. Qwilfish thinks Oran Berries taste horrible so he cannot eat Oran Berries (Fire Blast)

Nidoran (M): If it dies of hunger, it is gone forever (Treadshot A1)

Carvanha (Bobby): It thinks its dark typing makes it cruel, so it refrains from using any dark moves. He is afraid of any and all fire types and must not attack but must run in a battle against one. He thinks when he evolves, his evil will control him so he must become a higher lvl to evolve so he can control it.This means he must be lvl 45+ to evolve. When he evolves he reliases he can control himself and begins to use dark type moves again.He also gets over his fear and must solo 50 fire type pokemon before his battle against lugia or kyogre. he must be leader in the lugia and kyogre battle because he wants to be the best water type in the world when he evolves. If you havent noticed, He means he must be mail (Gyarados Master)

Nincada: Must have a different tactic every floor (Carbon Lifeform)

Good luck me for Part 2. And I can (finally) stop spamming this challenge.

Started with Cyndaquil, got a Relaxed male. So I'm stuck with Flame Wheel, Earthquake, Roar and Hyperbeam. Actually not a bad moveset. Since I can't catch anything until Poliwag with an Old Rod or a lucky Rattata somewhere, Brad swept everything in Violet City. Now heading down to get said Old Rod to catch my Poliwag.

Caught Poliwag, used him to sweep through that cave. Cyndaquil evolved some time after soloing Bugsy, don't remember when exactly. On the route outside Eterna Forest I got Drowzee, Drowzee, Rattata, so I had to take that one for my team. I trained up Rattata a bit in the wild then moved on to face Whitney. I taught Brad Fire Blast just so I could kill Miltank easily.

After that gym, went and did some Pokeathlon stuff so I could evolve Poliwhirl eventually. Also caught Beedrill in the bug catching contest. He kinda sucks so far. Raticate solo'd the entire Ecruteak gym easily with Crunch. Afterwards, I taught Poliwhirl Surf and went to catch my Smeargle. I also beat that Ho-oh puzzle for the Unown thing for the first time ever. Hooray!

Hide(Move your mouse to the hide area to reveal the content)Show HideHide Hide

Started off with my Careful Male Squirtle and went on to catch my Female Jolly Caterpie. Beat Brock with J Biebs pretty easily, then went and grinded with Metapod until it could survive 15 hits (one critical) from a Caterpie. Then went and caught my gentle female nidoran. Solo'd the trainer's Jigglypuff before Mt Moon and then 9 more Clefairy's (took a while) in Mt. Moon. Also poisoned a Rocket's Sandshrew with Poison Point, so I evolved it to Nidoqueen upon leaving Mt. Moon.

Again, J Biebs solo's Misty. Nothing interesting happens for a while. I can't yet use the restrictions as I can't get rid of Nido's attacking moves and Butterfree has no attacking moves that start with S yet. Nidoqueen solo'd Surge with Body Slam (the only attack I'm using in the spirit of the challenge right now). I am about to enter the tunnel going to Lavender.

Quickly skipped over Lavender and went and dominated the Celadon gym with Butterfree. I started using Psybeam because it at least sounds like it starts with an S. XD Don't worry, I'll get rid of it once I get Solar Beam or Silver Wind. Once I cleared out Rocket easily and got the Poke Flute, I went and caught my Snorlax and super rod, then fished up a Psyduck. I then went through the Silph Co building to finish off my team and get Lapras. 4 badges left to go now.

Since his attack stat is so much higher than his special attack stat (14), I decided that Blastoise will be the physically based of my three water types. Tail Whip will be replaced by Substitute and Bite will be replaced by Blizzard possibly. Not sure yet.

Maybe the most useless once I get to a certain point. It has to know Mist, Attract, Return and Surf. At least Surf will be useful?

As the nickname suggests, your Treecko is very nerdy & tends to spend 12 hours a day on a computer. One of his favourite sites is Smogon, & knowing he can evolve into Sceptile, He searches up on what is competitively viable for him when he becomes a Sceptile. He finds that if he sticks with the moves mentioned on-site, he will become one of the best Pokemon battler's in all of Hoenn! Unfortunately, all that time on the computer hasn't done any real good to him, so before he can evolve, he needs to work his ass off & become fast enough. So Treecko may only evolve into Grovyle when his speed stat totals 60 or above. Becoming a Grovyle, he still needs to work his ass off to become a Sceptile, so Grovyle may only evolve into Sceptile when his Speed stat totals 120 or above. He's finally a Sceptile!
Recap:
• Take a Treecko & name it NerdyGecko.
• May only evolve into Grovyle once his Speed totals at least 60 & Sceptile totals at least 120.
• Once a Sceptile, he may only use moves mentioned on this page
Have fun. See, that wasn't a Cheri Berry Zubat.

-Cacnea named "DaScarecro".
-Can only learn moves from level up, that's right no tms/hms or tutor moves.
-Since someone stopped using 1 of my scramblemons mid-game and I don't want that to happen to this 1, must be within 5 levels of your highest leveled mon at all times (and if it's not get to training).
-Doesn't really get any good moves from level up or have good stats so no other restrictions.
Have fun. .

@Dexington, take a Taillow named MechaBirdo. Once you reach Dewford, it cannot use any level up moves in battle. It must solo at least 8 gym leader Pokemon and 6 E4/Champion Pokemon.

Dexington, you get a Kecleon...it can only be leveled up through trainer/gym battles

Took my Treecko, went and caught a Tailow. Solo'd Roxanne with Treecko using Bullet Seed and began power levelling Tailow. Before I took on Brawly, Tailow was a Swellow and knew Steel Wing. Yes, I solo'd Brawly with Steel Wing, as per the requirements that she couldn't use level up moves at that point.

But god damn was Wattson ever difficult. I died to him twice and on the third time, Grovyle (who had recently evolved), learned Leaf Blade and I taught him Rock Smash for Magneton. Still very tough battle.

Since I have trouble with commitment, I am taking a hiatus from my Red scramble and doing a SoulSilver scramble on Hard Mode. For a change of pace, my only rules are obvious and, therefore, needless to say.

Moderator

NeilKosugi, I'm going to be an arse & give you Negative the Pecha Berry Lanturn. As with Flapper the Cheri Berry Zubat, It must hold a Pecha Berry to fight, if it loses it mid-battle, you must switch it out & you may not SR if this happens. Have it solo Koga on the first try, failure to do this & it must give up a moveslot forever. For an added challenge, you may only revive it using a Pokemon Centre, that means, no revives.

EDIT: Oh, you must also solo Janine on the first try as well, failure to do so will result in it giving up a moveslot forever.

Neil, you get Frederick, the male Scyther! Frederick must be caught during the bug catching contest and you must win in order to use it. It must also have the ability Swarm.

Frederick refuses to believe that he is not a Technician Scyther and as such may only have attack moves with 60 or lower BP. One of these moves must be False Swipe, which he must use to knock 2 GLMP down to 1 health. Another move must be Double Hit and be used to KO 15 pokemon which are resistant against it. Frederick also cannot evolve into a Scizor. Good luck!

You get YourMove the Scyther. It needs to hold an iron ball or lagging tail(as soon as you get one) and underspeed any pokes within a 5 level radius of it. if it doesn't, switch out into your starter. it's moves can be anything evolve to scizor if you want

EDIT: Damnit ninja'd, change it to cyndaquil, the switch out restriction is now switch into your highest level pokemon, because of that chimchar cannot your highest. also since it hates it's fellow pokeymanz for outspeeding it, it must gobble up all vitamins you get other than carbos. it's allergic

@Neil, I won't be so so cruel to you and will spare you having to worry about a starter later. You're getting a Chikorita. Why? Because they're adorable. Your Chikorita loves mine, so it must be named Heartproxy, even if it isn't a girl.

Because it loves my Chikorita, it must have a movepool similar to mine! Therefore, from the time you are first able to get them, it must know any three of these moves: Grass Knot, Synthesis, Reflect, Light Screen, Aromatherapy, Sunny Day, SolarBeam, Toxic, Endure, Rest, Sleep Talk, Body Slam, Return.

Your fourth move may be anything you want! Because Heartproxy <3s you.

To evolve your Chikorita into a Bayleef, Heartproxy must surivive one turn against Bugsy's Scyther. If a later challenger requires you to solo Bugsy, then it must solo Whitney's Miltank. To evolve into a Meganium, your Bayleef must survive one turn against Pryce's Dewgong. If a later challenger requires you to solo Pryce, you must go through the Ice Cave using only Bayleef to evolve. [As in, (s)he can be the only one to battle, not the only one in the party.]

Neil, you get to have a Spearow. Name it DimondBeak. The only possible moves it may ever learn are as follows: Peck, Growl, Leer, Fury Attack, Pursuit, Drill Peck, Pluck, and U-Turn. It must Solo either Jasmine or Pierce in order to evolve. It must also survive the Elite Four until Lance. At which point it must faint from Aerodactyl AFTER it uses Drill Peck on Aerodactyl. If it does this, it may learn any moves you wish, for it has learned that its beak is not indestructible after all. Failure to faint from Lance's Aerodactyl leads to its ignorance, and it may not learn any other moves besides the ones mentioned above.

Edit: Also, it must Solo Lt. Surge's team, failure to do so will result in amnesia, and though it can not learn the move, it does lose its memory and must then solo Brock with only Drill Peck (it forgot the lesson it learned with Aerodactyl). Should it win against Lt. Surge, it must also solo Brock, and failure will also result in the same restricted amnesia and then it must solo Ash's Pikachu. Even if it should succeed in all its challenges, it must still solo Pikachu.

>Soul Silver>Hard Mode
F*** YEAH!
Neil, you get a seaking named "LaserPower"
This seaking must be the most epic seaking EVER! To do this you must give it Hyper Beam! That's it......wait, you thought I meant that's the only restiction? Hahaha no, that's the only attack you can use, what's that? that's insane? just for that solo 1 glmp to evolve (you can't teach it hyper beam yet so use whatever) and solo 5 pokemon in the league.
Good luck.

Click to expand...

Epic Seaking is epic. I've decided to be more of an arse & edited my challenge. Lanturn must now solo Janine on the first try as well with the same penalty. =P

Still waiting on those two that haven't sent me their 9 Pokemon for SPL 2 to do so. Failure to do so before the Round 1 deadline in 6 days will result in a penalty.

@ Hutch: FUCK YEAH! YOU GOT A FUCKING SEAKING! THIS SEAKING IS SUCH A BOSS POKEMON, IT HAS NO TIME FOR WEAK ATTACKS. THEREFORE, IT MUST ONLY LEARN ATTACKING MOVES WITH 120 BASE POWER PRIOR TO THE ELITE FOUR. IN ORDER TO LEARN THESE MOVES, HE MUST FIRST SOLO LT. SURGE'S RAICHU, FUCK YEAH! ALSO, IT CAN'T BE USED IN THE CHAMPION BATTLE UNLESS IT'S LEARNED MEGAHORN.

To recap: You get a Seaking (Fuck yeah!). It can only have attacking moves with 120 BP before the Elite Four. It must solo Lt. Surge's Raichu, and it can't be used against the Champion unless it has Megahorn.

About the SPL 2, I will ironically not be using the pokemon that 3 (yes three) people gave me because it would give me a rediculous rock weakness and I may or may not have been given a useful spinner who may or may not have better things to do.

In other news, I just finished SRing my Shiny Entei. 31 Atk IV, 30 Spd, SPD IV`s and what appears to be a mid twenties defense IV. If only its HP were better it would be perfect.

Roll three 6-sided dice, divide the results by two (drop any remainder), then subtract 1. This will give you a number between 0 and 8. That number represents how many gym leader badges you need before you catch your Pokemon. You must catch a Pokemon that becomes immediately available because of that specific number of gym badges, due to certain game areas being blocked off without certain gym badges.

For example:

0 Gym Badges means you must catch a Pokemon between getting your starter, and before your battle with Roark. If no one gives you a starter, you can use a starter.
1 Gym Badges means you must catch a Pokemon which only became available because you can now use Rock Smash and must be caught before your battle with Gardenia. However you CANNOT catch Pokemon which were available before your battle with Roark, such as Starly or Bidoof.
7 Gym Badges means you can catch Pokemon that became immediately available due to having Rock Climb, and Pokemon that are available between the Resort and Sunyshore City.
8 Gym Badges means you can only catch Pokemon that became immediately available due to having Waterfall and for having access between Sunyshore City and the Pokemon League.

For the purpose of this challenge, evolved Pokemon are counted separately. For example a Bidoof and Bibarel are not the same.

This will likely be a tricky challenge to fulfill, since you will need to do some research on what Pokemon become available as you progress through the game.

Whatever Pokemon you capture, it must be Male if it can be Male, it must always have neutral nature, and you must teach it a TM and HM move.
